I got a CPR card so I could ignore 30.06 signs but waived license fees would be icing on the cake.
I just got my CPR card a week ago (Going to try and go into an lvn/rn program at the beginning of the year). How does having a cpr card allow you to ignore 30.06?
It doesn't. Although some people think it does.
IMO, just because you have a CPR card does not make you fit the definition of "volunteer emergency services personnel".
If you're not part of a more formal volunteer organization of some sort, good luck invoking 30.06/07 (f).
Just my opinion. Feel free to be a test case. I could certainly be wrong.
Emphasis mine.

(f) It is a defense to prosecution under this section that the license holder is volunteer emergency services personnel, as defined by Section 46.01.

(18) “Volunteer emergency services personnel” includes a volunteer firefighter, an emergency medical services volunteer as defined by Section 773.003, Health and Safety Code , and
any individual who, as a volunteer, provides services for the benefit of the general public during emergency situations.
Thank you for posting the text so everybody can see the law clearly says
any individual who... not
a member of a formal volunteer emergency services organization of some sort who... despite what some people think.
